Interpretation: The wavelength of the radiation with sufficient energy to break
Concept introduction:
Electromagnetic radiations are a type of energy surrounding us. They are of different types like radio waves, IR, UV, X-ray etc.
Ultraviolet radiation lies between
Energy associated with a radiation,
Answer to Problem 43GQ

Explanation of Solution
Given:
From the table 8.8, the average bond energy of
In-order to find the wavelength of the radiation we can use the equation
Substituting the values
The wavelength of the radiation is
Therefore wavelength of the radiation in meter is calculated by multiplying the answer with
This wavelength corresponds to ultraviolet region in the electromagnetic spectrum.
